This was today's secret scroll, & I just wanted some opinions on it. Now I'm not saying I agree or disagree with this, but I happen to see the secret send out messages like this every now & then. Usually they will totally be in support of you following your dreams & desires, but every now & then you get one like this that seems to sort of go against all of the other ones...again, I'm not saying I disagree, but to me this sounds like The Secret is saying you can't always have whatever you desire bc the Universe has its say too & would rather give you something else. I'm all for it if it's something great & wonderful, but don't tell us we can have whatever it is we desire & send out stuff like this! Can confuse or discourage some people sometimes is all, I think. Anyway, opinions?:
From The Secret Daily Teachings
If there was a particular house you wanted, or a particular relationship or job you wanted, and you didn’t get it, the Universe is telling you that it was not good enough and did not match your dream. It is also telling you that it has something BETTER and more worthy of you.
Something better is coming . . . you’re allowed to be excited!
May the joy be with you,

I do understand that concept. but allow me to throw in a monkey wrench.
what if you simply don't want something better?
here's an example. what if your dog was lost, and you prayed every day for your dog to be found. and you used the law of attraction to manifest the finding of your dog. And someone says, well we don't have your dog, but here is another dog. Actually this one is better anyway. You didn't really want that other one. You just thought you did because you were so hurt when they disappeared. This one is better. This one can run faster, and he does more tricks. And he listens better, and he doesn't shed. He's better.
Sure, that one is better. but would anyone really want that? most people would say, sure that one might be "better" but I want my dog back. I don't care if mine drools on the carpet and doesn't know any tricks. I want my dog because I love him and I have an emotional bond with him.
now, replace "dog" with "lover." is it really any different?
I can say, from my perspective, it's not very different. I am trying to get my ex back. I know there are other women out there, who are "better"... maybe prettier than her (only a few!)... maybe less opinionated and more ageeable, or even more compatible with my personality. But I don't want them. I want my ex with all her imperfections because I spent the last 30 years with her and I love her and feel a bond with her. and I want my family to be under one roof again. No "better/other" woman can make that happen.
Now I've read about LOA and i understand, I can't NEED her. I have to know that I'll be OK by myself or even with another woman someday, if that's what happens. And I accept that. But I would like to say to Mr Universe... if you're listening... I know you might think I could be happier with someone else, and maybe you're right.... but from my perspective down here, I don't want someone else, even if they are better.
As a matter of fact, I think I could find another woman on my own, without LOA, without a vision board, and without spending hours a day visualizing. I'm here because I want my ex back and I want my family back. I don't want something better. Is that so bad?
